Help Support Hollie Muse's LPGA Dream

Hi! I am Hollie Muse and I am asking for your help in pursuing my dream of being on the LPGA tour, as well as helping young people appreciate the lessons the game of golf teaches you, and the joy of the game itself. (Scroll down for updates).

At 18, I triumphed over Paula Creamer in a playoff and earned a spot in the British Open. Originally from Great Britain, I moved to the US as a teenager to play collegiate golf at the prestigious University of Arizona. However, my journey took a difficult turn when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, prompting my return to the UK. Despite these challenges, I came back to the US, transferring to East Tennessee State, where I finished my collegiate golf career and graduated Summa Cum Laude.

Encouraged by my mother, I aspired to pursue a golf career in the US, leading me to Reynolds, where I worked as an intern at Oconee for $12/hour while waiting for a new visa. With the new visa obtained, I was recently promoted to assistant Pro at the Oconee Golf Course. Before my promotion (and now), I have taken on various jobs to make ends meet. Last year, I reached Level Q2 LPGA school but had to withdraw due to my mother's worsening illness. Although the LPGA granted me status based on my performance, I struggle to enter tournaments due to my lower status, necessitating the need to repeat all levels of Q school. I have already paid the $3,750 Q1 application fee with my own money, but the costs continue to mount, including expenses for the next level application, food, lodging, transportation, and a caddy.

My goal is to raise $20,000 to help me achieve my dream. I know it is a lot to ask of everyone, but I am working very hard to make it happen. I often stop practicing around 10PM, after working at my full-time job. Please consider making a donation. I regularly am shooting in the 60s and already have 14 hole-in-ones!

ANY amount you can contribute is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support. I won't let you down!

I will pay it forward.

July 14th: I’m thrilled to share that I secured 3rd place in the Georgia Women's Open today! Despite battling strep throat and just finishing my steroids and antibiotics, I gave it my all. Many of my competitors don’t juggle a full-time job like I do, so I’m incredibly proud of my performance, especially since this is my first tournament in seven months.

Again, my sincere gratitude for all of your help. Late August is Q School. I will continue to update here.
